Now i'm no stupid but i'm far from smart..

Has anyone else changed a sentence completely because they couldn't spell a word?

Ive been sat here for ages trying to spell the word conscience

i went from

conshunse

conshionce

concunse

etc etc... til i just caved in and asked google about Jimmy Cricket in Pinocchio

Still i've learnt one thing today

Not really as I use Google as a spell check, My spelling is poor, Its a memory thing with me, If I don't use a particular word for x amount of time I forget how to spell it,

Luckily spelling doesn't affect my life/job

If you try to con science it will always be on your conscience

i knew the word i wanted just truly had no clue on how to spell it.. my guesses were no where near the actual spelling.

My spelling isn't too bad but I suffer bouts of reverse word blindness where I think I've typed a letter or word I haven't actually written which can then end up altering my statement to the opposite meaning....

I guess I should proof read before clicking post.....

Yes! It's so cute to see them writing and saying 'O u lucky duck' as they do it

My brain seems to work well with these things - I made up a mnemonic once as a flippant thing but it helped a couple of people pass an exam.

Sometimes I have one of those moments where your mind just goes blank or you doubt the spelling of a stupidly simple word or it just doesn't look right when you type/write it out then I'll usually use Google to double check it.

Not personally, I'm a bit of a grammar and spelling nazi. I have the opposite problem that I have to change words as sometimes I'm writing a message or email and use complex words.

But having a daughter who's dyslexic I can appreciate how frustrated and difficult it can be.

That happens to me but when talking not spelling, sometimes the word I was about to say just goes!
